I bought this Jeep all most a year ago as a vehicle just to have fun with and fix up. Due to health issues I'm not able to do all the things that I have wanted to do with it. If I could I would keep it because it is a fun vehicle to drive and it gets a lot of compliments. I have only put a few hundred miles on it since I have owned it because currently it is not registered or insured. With the carburetor problem that I described above, it might or might not pass smog. I haven't had the carburetor fixed yet due to my health problems and lack of money to get it done. I haven't taken this Jeep off road but I have engaged the four wheel drive to test it and it seems to work just fine. Both the engine and transmission seem to be in good mechanical condition. The clutch feels real strong and shifting through the gears is very smooth. The Jeep has power steering that works well too. The prior owner installed a new 12,000 pound winch that has not been used yet and a new CB radio that is a good quality radio with a lot of functions on it. There is a new bikini top and half doors that are shown in the pictures. There is no full soft top but I do have the metal frame for one. There is a nice custom made full roll cage for added safety. There is almost no rust at all on this Jeep which is unusual for its age. The only rust I have found is just a little bit on the inside of the hood. The body, for the most part is straight. It has some very small dents here and there. I painted the entire body in camouflage which has received many compliments. There appears to be about three areas on the body that have had some bondo work done. The CJ 5 is a small type of body and is well known for being one of the best four wheel drive vehicles. I think after the carburetor is fixed this could easily be a reliable daily driver vehicle or a fantastic hunters Jeep.

2016 Jeep Wrangler to ditch solid axles to save weight?
Tue, 29 Oct 2013Hey, Jeep fans. If you think the idea of a funky-looking, car-based Cherokee revival is offensive, have a listen to what might be in store for the next-gen Jeep Wrangler. Automotive News is reporting that as Jeep develops the 2016 Wrangler, weight reduction is a crucial target, and the Wrangler's rugged solid axles could be sacrificed in the name of better fuel economy.
We've already heard the next Wrangler will go on a serious diet using aluminum body panels and an air suspension system, so the idea of a four-wheel independent suspension setup for this OG SUV isn't all that surprising. Besides, it's not like an independent suspension would limit the Wrangler's off-road abilities - just check out the Hummer H1. In fact, it might be the aftermarket parts companies - not Wrangler enthusiasts - who would be most disappointed by such a drastic suspension change, as the article states that the Wrangler's solid axles and coil-link suspension make it the most popular SUV for customization.
There are probably still a couple years before we'll start hearing any concrete details about the 2016 Wrangler, at which time it will be interesting to see how stricter fuel economy and crash safety regulations have been balanced with traditional Wrangler cues like its removable doors and roof and folding windshield. Let us know in the comments below if a Wrangler sans solid axles is any less of a Wrangler.

Chrysler investigating complaints of vehicles with faulty power modules
Sun, 24 Aug 2014Chrysler owners are hopping mad after experiencing a series of electrical gremlins in some of the company's vehicles. Issues range from mere annoyances - windows rolling down and radios turning off of their own accord - to serious safety issues, with headlights that randomly shut off at night and cars that stall and refuse to start.
The issues are being blamed on the total integrated power module, which can cost up to $1,000 for customers to replace. This, of course, has led to a hefty batch of complaints to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, with 240 owners expressing their displeasure so far. Another site, CarComplaints.com, has registered over 300 complaints relating to the 2010 to 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango, alone, according to The New York Times.
Chrysler has acknowledged that it's investigating the complaints and is analyzing the faulty TIPMs, but that isn't quite enough for customers of the affected vehicles. The newspaper has snagged a few of the more harrowing tales with the electrically challenged Chrysler products, culled from the NHTSA complaints.
